electric lights, artesian water system, fire department, well-stocked markets and stores, 
elegant churches, an increasing number of residences, and palatial hotels which are 
famous the world over and on whose registers are written the names of more than 
50,000 guests every winter and spring. It is the fashionable winter resort of the United 
States. Visitors find every convenience and luxury. The town is renowned for its 
healthf ulness ; the climate is equable and has given lease of life to thousands who 
have come hither from the North and West. 

SITUATED on a narrow strip of land running north and south, the town has in front 
(on the east) the Mantanzas River or bay, and on the west the St. Sebastian River. 
Across the bay is Anastasia Island; and beyond that — two miles distant — the ocean.

THE STEINWAY P IANO 

To uphold a reputation for tone quality unequalled; to build a piano 
that has fixed the basic principles for all makes; to create a world 
standard and keep it at a level unapproached by others — that is the 
Steinway achievement through four generations. 

Quality should be the only determining factor in the selection of a piano.

Rifles and Cartridges 

There are many makes of hunting rifles and cartridges, but Win- 
chester — theW brand — have first call among sportsmen of experi- 
ence. It is not sentiment, but quality and dependability that give 
them preference over all other makes. Not only are Winchester 
rifles and cartridges dependable, but they are made in calibers and 
types suitable for hunting all kinds of game. The high quality and 
entire dependability of Winchester guns and cartridges are main- 
tained by the exercise of great care and experience in the selection of 
materials used in making them, and by thoroughly modern methods 
of manufacture. If you, like thousands of sportsmen, use Winchester 
rifles and cartridges, you are familiar with their superiority. If you 
haven't used them, a trial will convince you that you should.

high t, Ha m m erless R ep ea ting Sh o tg un s 

Sportsmen differ as to whether a 12, 16 or 20 Gauge is the best 
shotgun for field shooting, but the knowing ones agree that the 
Winchester Model 1912 lightweight, hammerless repeater is the 
one best bet in the shotgun line. This Winchester being made 
in 12, 16 and 20 gauges permits an advocate of the big, medium 
or small bore to indulge his fancy and be sure of getting a gun 
that is true to its gauge in balance, weight and length. All three 
gauges of this model are made of specially selected materials. 
Nickel steel, which is twice as strong as ordinary gun steel, 
is used throughout for the metal parts in this Winchester. 
This means a lightweight gun without sacrificing safety 
or strength. This gun has a cross-bolt trigger lock, a smooth, 
quick and easy action, and a simple Take-Down system. It 
loads and unloads easily and its shooting qualities are not 
excelled by the highest priced double guns. There are many 
other pleasing and exclusive features of this Winchester 
which appeal to sportsmen that could be enumerated, but the 
gun itself is the best evidence of its quality and desirability. 

"WINCHESTER LOADED SHELLS"LEADER"and"REPEATER.'- 

are made with the Winchester patented Corrugated Head which is a far 

superior method of construction to metal lining, once used in Winchester 

shells, but discarded years ago. Winchester "Leader" and "Repeater" shells 

are loaded with all desirable combinations of powder and shot and give 

the fullest measure of shooting satisfaction in any make of gun.

JACKSONVILLE. 



Jai ksonville, the metropolis of Florida, is on the St. John's River, twenty- 
five miles From the sea by the winding course of the river, and eighteen m 
in a direct lino. It is a deep-water port ; tin- bar and channel admit the heaviesl 
freight ships afloat. In growing commercial importance, Jacksonville is one of 
the chief cities of the South. It- superb geographical situation assures its 
supremacy for the future. Jacksonville is further west than any other Atlat 
port. The coast line turn- slighth west of south from New York to (ape 
Hatteras to the mouth of the St. John's. < in account of this trend of the ocean 
to the westward, Southern pert- are nearer to the geographical center of the 
country than are the ports of the North. Jacksonville is nearer than ports north 
of Chariot. m to St. Louis, Kansas City and all parts of Missouri, Kansas, 
Nebraska, South Dakota and Montana, and the States west and south of them, 
and as near to them as is Utarle-ton . >r Savannah. Coming further south, 
Jacksonville is the nearest Atlantic port. 

It is the largest city in the State, and the railway and steamship center. All 
train- arrive at and depart from the Union Passenger Station, thus a 
transfers. All Northern and Western lines here connect with the Florida 1 
( oast Line. The Clyde Line steamships run to Charleston and New Vork ; and 
the ships of the Merchants and Miners Steamship Co. to Savannah. Baltimore 
and Philadelphia. The Clyde's St. John's River steamers ascend the river to 
Sanford; and the Leach & Miller Line of steamboats ply to Palatka and 
Crescent City. 

As the gateway of Florida. Jacksonville is well known to the tourist from the 
North and the West. The city numbers it- winter visitors by hundreds of 
thousands. 

There is much to attract one, and abundant means to interest and entertain 
while here. In all the factors which make for comfort and convenience the 
city is well equipped. The streets are broad, well paved and shaded. The 
electric car lines are modern and up-to-date. The city has its own electric light- 
ing system, and shine- as an illuminating example of municipal owner-hip. 1 he 
water suppl) is from inexhaustible artesian wells. The shop-, numerous, varied 
and well stocked, are metropolitan in character. Modern, well built theater- 
bring to the city the best companies. There are many clubs, men's and women'-. 
A country club maintain- a club house with excellent golf links. A yacht club 
whitens the St. John's with pleasure craft. Pleasant drives lead in many cliri 
tions, and mile- of auto road- are well cared for. There are numerous interest- 
ing trips on the river, and the Atlantic beach is readily reached. 

Of the advantages of Jacksonville for residence, a well considered review- in 
the Times-Union declares that then is probabh no city in the United State- that 
offers so many attraction- as a place of residence as doe- the city of Jackson- 
ville, h i- situated on the banks of the noble St. John's River, a river which 
extend- almost the entire length of the State and which affords ample oppor-

tunit.i i '. yachtsmen and fishermen to indulge in their favorite 

pastimes. Ii is within thirty-five minutes by rail of the Atlantic Ocean and one 
of the finest seaside resorl hotels in America. Standing upon high ground and 
well draim i eks that flow through it, and by the great river sweeping round 

it, the cit) enjoys advantages of fortunate sanitary topography, and its natural 
iiealthmc.-s has been liberally improved by perfect drainage, sewerage and other 
necessary sanitation. It lias a splendid supply of almost chemically pure water, 
obtained from artesian wells which are sunk to the depth of about one thou- 
sand feet. The climatic conditions are as near perfect for pleasurable existence 
as can be found in America. It is not only a very attractive winter resort, but 
even the summers are not as uncomfortable as in most Northern cities, for it 
is fanned by delightful breezes from the Atlantic Ocean. The population is 
conmopolitan, probably as much so as any cit\ of its size in the L'nited States, 
and strangers who come here to make this their home always find a generous 
and heart) welcome. The school advantages are excellent and are being rapidly 
improved. There are churches of all denominations, and the very best amuse- 
ments are afforded the people of the cit> ; Jacksonville being on the southern 
circuit, the best attractions that visit the large cities of the South come to Jack- 
sonville. Trolley lines run through all parts of the city and into the suburbs, 
and there are a number of fine parks and pleasure resorts. There are miles of 
paved street- and beautiful shell drives. The mortality reports show that jacK- 
sonville is one of the healthiest cities in this country. The fine business blocks 
are supplemented by many costl) and elegant residences, and in the suburbs 
there are as handsome residences as can be found in any city of its size. There 
are also numerous dwellings of more modest type which are the homes of traders 
and mechanics of which thev themselves are the owner-

Fort Marion. 




ST. AUGUSTINE. 




ORTIFICATION and defense were the first thought 
of the Spanish soldiers who founded St. Augustine; 
and for three centuries the most significant feature 
of the town, which greeted the eye of the traveler as 
he entered the harbor, was the forbidding and por- 
tentous mass of Fort San Marco, set here to chal- 
lenge approach from sea. To-day, as the train 
emerges from the pines and palmettos, our first 
glimpse is of the towers of the great hotels, significant of welcome and hospitality 
St. .Augustine has become a fashionable winter resort, whose spacious hotels 
dominate the aspect of ihe surroundings, and in their luxury and magnificence 
have no equals in the world : it is the winter Newport, whose visitors are numbered 
by tens of thousands, whose private residences are distinguished for elegance and 
comfort. Year by year the city grows more beautiful, and with each innovation 
and transformation adds to its attractiveness. The old has been supplanted by 
the new, yet the town preserves a distinctive character all its own, and there is 
now more than ever before about the old city an indefinable charm which leads 
one's thoughts back to it again and gladdens the face that is once more turned 
toward Florida and St. Augustine. 

The distances lure are not great. Fort Marion and the Gateway on the north, 
tin' sea-wall on tin water front, the Plaza in the center, with its Cathedral, the 
narrow streets, and the Barracks on the south — these are the features of the old 
town in which we shall be interested, and all lie within the limit of a mile. The 
principal streets run north and south ; the cross streets at right angle? fast and 
west. The main thoroughfare, St. George street, extends through the center of 
the town to the City Gate; from that point it is known as San Marco avenue 



THE STANDARD GUIDE. 






Treasury street, crossing St. 
i ieorge one block north of the 
Plaza, narrows at the east end 
to an alley, across which two 
persons may clasp hands. King 
street extends west from the 
Plaza to the St. Sebastian 
River. The narrow little 
streets, with their foreign 
names and foreign faces, their 
overhanging balconies and 
high garden walls, through 
whose open doors one caught 
glimpses of orange and fig and 
waving banana, were once 
among the quaint characteris- 
tics which made the old Flor- 
ida town charming and pecu- 
liar among all American cities. 
But the picturesque streets, of 
which tourists delighted to 
write, have almost ceased to be 
a pleasing feature of St. Augus- 
tine. Some have been wi- 
dened : and others, shorn of 
their quaintness, are ill adapt- 
ed to the swilling traffic. 

A portion of the native pop- 
ulation, distinguished by dark 
eyes and dark complexions, is 
composed of Minorcans. In 
1700. during the British occu- 
pation, a colony of Minorcans 
and Majorcans from the Ba- 
learic Islands, in the Mediter-

The Fort, the < iateway and 
the old houses are .built of 
i oquina (Spanish, signifying 
shellfish), a native rock found 
on Anastasia Island. It is 
composed of shells and shell 
fragments of great variety of 
form, color and size. Ages 
ago these were washed up in 
enormous quantities by the 
waves, just as masses of sim- 
ilar material are left now on 
the beach, where one may 
walk for miles through the 
loose fragments which under 
favorable conditions would 
in time form coquina stone. 
Cut off from the sea. the de- 
posits are in time partially 
dissolved by rain water and 
cemented together. 

The material of which the 
new In itels are built is a com-

cement and shells. A wall is 
constructed of successive lay- 
ers of concrete; as each layer

Ancient landmarks are 
disappearing, but the pillars 
of the City Gateway re- 
main as notable monuments 
of the past. Inconsequen- 
tial as the towers now ap- 
pear, there was a time when 
they stood out bravel) 
enough, and in their se- 
curity St. Augustine rejoiced. In those days they looked out upon a wilderness; 
the belated traveler hurried on to their shelter: and the town slept securely when 
the Harrier Gate was fast shut against the midnight approach of a foe from with- 
out. Stoutly their walls gave their strength when it was needed, and defended for 
the King of Spain his garrison town in Florida. They have witnessed many a 
narrow- escape and many a gallant rescue. More than once have they trembled 
with the shock of assault, and more than once driven back the foe repulsed. To- 
day, dismantled and useless, out of keeping with the customs of the day and the 
spirit of the age. long since left behind by the outstretching town, the picturesque 
old ruins linger as cherished landmarks. 1 tere we are on historic ground. 

I he gateway is the only conspicuous relic of the elaborate system of fortifica- 
tions which once defended St. \ugustine. The town being on a narrow peninsula 
running south, an enemy could approach by land only from the north. Across 
this northern boundary, east and west, from water to water, ran line- of fortifica- 
tion, which effectuall) barred approach. From the fort a deep ditch extended 
to ilu St, Sebastian; and was defended by a high parapet, with redoubts and bat- 
teries. The ditch was flooded at high tide Entrance to the town was by a draw-

St. Sebastian River in the rear (west) of the town, and around to the Matanzas 
again on the south. The gate was closed at night. Guards were stationed in the 
sentry boxes. Just within the gate was a guard house, with a detachment of 
troops. When the sunset gun was tired, the bridge was raised, the gate was 
barred, and the guards took their stations. When once the gate was closed, tltc

Extending from Fort Marion south along the water front to the United States 
barracks stands a sea-wall of coquina capped with New England granite. It 
affords a necessary protection against the encroachment of the sea: the site of 
St. Augustine is so low tha' under certain conditions of wind and tide the waves 
would inundate much of the town. In heavy east storms the water dashes over 
the top of the wall. The need of such a barrier against the sea was recognized at 
an early time. There is a touch of the humorous side of history in the spectacle 
of Spain, having chosen tins hit of Florida soil for a town, building first a fort 
to defend it from invaders, and then a wall to protect it from the inroads of the 
sea. The present wall was built by the United States, in [835-42, as a complement 
to the repairs of Fort .Marion, at an expense of $100,000. The length is ;,j mile,

FORT MARION LOOKING TOWARD THE SLA. 

Fort Marion is at the north end of the sea-wall and commands the harbor. 
It is open daily (admission free) from 8 A. M. to 4 P. M. Afternoon is the most 
pleasant time for seeing the fort. The sergeant in charge conducts visitors 
through the casemates. 

The fort, which is the only example of mediaeval fortification on this continent. 
is a fine specimen of the art of military engineering as developed at the time of 
its construction. It is a massive structure of coquina stone, with curtains, 
bastions, moat and outworks. 

Surrounding the fort on the three land sides is an immense artificial hill of earth, called tne 
glacis. From the crest "i the glacis on the southeast, a bridge, formerly a drawbridge, leads 
across part of the moat to the barbacan. The barbacan is a in, surrounded by the 

directly in front of the fort entrance, which it was designed to protect. In the barbacan 
at the stairway are the Arms of Spain. A second bridge, originally a drawbridge, leads from 
the barbacan across the wide moat to the sally-port, which is the only entrance to the fort. 
This was provided wi h a heavy door, called the portcullis. On the outer wall, above the 
sally-port, is the escutcheon, bearing the Arms of Spain; and the Spanish legend, which read:

Within the fort on the right of the entrance hall is the old bake room, and beyond this 
arc two dark chambers, winch were used for storage. < m the left is the guards' room. The 
hall opens upon a large square conn (103 by 109 feet). Around this conn arc casemati 
or rooms which were used for barracks, messrooms, storerooms, etc. Some of the casemates 
were divided into lowei and upper apartments. A beam of light is admitted through a nar 
row window or embrasure, high up near the arched ceiling. From the first east casemate 
a door leads back into an interior dark room. From the furthest casemate on the same 
side an entrance leads back into a dark chamber, off from winch a narrow passage leads 
through a wall 5 feet deep into a space 6 feet wide; and from this a low aperture 2 feet 
square gives access through another wall 5 feet deep, into an innermost vaull or chamber. 
which is ig'/i feet Ion-. 132-3 feet broad, and 8 feet high. The arched roof is of solid 

masonry. There is 1 ther outlet than the single aperture. This is the so-called "ilmii_.o-. ,11" 

of Fort Marion. It was designed for a powder magazine or bomb proof. When the fort was 
111 repair the chamber was dry and tit for use as a safe deposit for explosives; but when the 
water from above percolated through the coquina, this bomb-proof or powder magazine 
became damp and unwholesome. For this reason it was no longer used except as a place 
to throw rubbish into. Then it bred fexcrs. and finally, as a sanitary measure, the Spaniards 
walled it up. and the middle room as well. They did this in the readiest way by closing the 

entrances with coquina ma- 
sonry. When the United 
States came into possession 
of the fort the officers sta- 
tioned here did not suspect 
the existence of these disused 
chambers, although among 
the residents of the town were 
men who had knowledge of 
them and of their prosaic use 
as deposits for rubbish. ( hi. 
of these residents once related 
to the writer his recollection 
of the disused powder maga- 
zine, as he was familiar with 
it when, as a boy. he was em- 
ployed at the fort. In [839 
the masonry above the middle 
chamber caved in. and while 
the engineers were making 
repairs the closed entrance to 
the innermost chamber was 
noticed, and investigation led 
to its discovery. Refuse and 
rubbish were found there. The 
report was given out — whether 
at the time or later— that in 
this rubbish were s.une bones. 
From this insignificant begin- 
ning the myth-makers evolved 
first the tale that the bones 
were human, then they added 
1 rusty chain and a staple in 
the wall, a gold ring on one

dark room. Casemate 10c is 
known as "Coacoochee's cell." 
Coacoochee was a Seminole 
chief, who at one time during 
the Seminole War was confined 
here; and with a companion 
made his escape by squeezing 
through the embrasure and drop- 
ping to the moat. The Seminole 
chief Osceola was also a pris 
oner in Fort Marion, whence he 
was removed to Fort Moultrie, 
m Charleston Harbor, where he 
died.

ramparts. This ascent was orig- 
inally an inclined plane for ar- 
tillery. At the outer angle of 
each bastion is a sentry box. 
of the fort between the bastions are the curtains. The walls are 9 feet thick

with earth. The fort is surrounded by a moat, 40 feet wide, formerly deeper than at present, 
with a cemented concrete floor, and flooded from the bay at high tide. Along the outer 
edge of the moat are narrow level spaces called covered-ways; a.nd wider levels called 
places-of-arms, where artillery was mounted and the troops gathered, protected by the outer 
wall or parapet, from which slopes the glacis. The fortification of stone (water battery) in 
front was built by the United States in 1842. The small brick building (hot shot furnace) 
in the moat dates from 1844. 

In different forms and bearing different names, the fort lias been established 
more than three centuries. For two hundred years the fort was St. Augustine, and 
St. Augustine was Florida. At first a rude and temporary structure of pine logs,

the fortification expanded in magnitude until it developed into the great stone 
fortress, in the years of its building the progress of such a work was slow. Con- 
victs from Spain and Mexico, and Indians and slaves, quarried the stone on 
Anastasia Island, ferried it across the bay, and toiled at the walls: and it was not 
until the year 1756 that the work was considered finished. The story goes that the 
King of Spain, counting up the cost, fancied that the fort must have been built

of gold ; and we may well imagine that successive Governors-General filled their 
pockets out of the job and went home rich men. 

The walls are built of coquina, which in its day was considered a very excellent 
material for this purpose, since cannon balls would sink into the wall without 
shattering it as they would harder stone. On the sea front of the southwest 
bastion are crevices, which according to local tradition were caused by British 
cannon balls from the opposite shore when the town was besieged by Oglethorpe, 
who in 1740 landed a force on Anastasia Island and bombarded the fort for forty 
days. In that age of crude artillery the coquina bastions were capable of with- 
standing a much more serious attack than that of Oglethorpe's batteries; but the 
an of war has changed since then, and Fort Marion would quickly be shattered 
by modern suns. 

Shortly after coming into the possession of the United States, the fort was 
named Fi »rt Marion, in In mi >r 1 if the Revolutionary hero. < General Francis Marion.

St. Axastasia Island, lying in front of the town, between bay and ocean, is 
a favorite resorl for excursion parties, and lias mam attractions for the tourist. 
Tile most pleasanl time fur a visit is the afternoon. The route is by bridge from 
Kins street, and rail, drive or cycle path. The Lighthouse is usually 
open to visitors. The light is a fixed white ami revolving flash light, flashing 
Mine every .} minutes, and is visible to miles. The purpose of the variability of the 
|ight is to render it distinguishable from others. Thus, while the St. Augustine 
[ight is a fixed white light varied by a Hash every ,} minutes, the St. Johns River 
light, the next one north, is a fixed whit.' light; and the (ape Canaveral light, 
the second one south, flashes every minute. The black and white spiral stripes, 
which make the tower look like a grotesque Brobdingnagian barber's pole, dis- 
tinguish it from others by day ; the tower of the St. Johns River light is red ; that 
of the Cape Canaveral light has black and white horizontal hands. 

Anastasia Island extends from St. Augustine south 12 miles to Mataxzas 
Inlet, where there are picturesque ruins of an old Spanish fort which defended 
the sea approach to the town from the south. Tin- name Matanzas (from the 
Spanish Matanza — slaughter) commemorates the massacre of the Huguenots, 
which occurred here in the year 1565, an event connected with the founding of 
St. Augustine by Pedro Menendez. The French Huguenots had established a 
settlement on the River St. Johns, and in 1565 Menendez came with a Spanish 
force to drive them out. He landed at the Indian village of Seloy, and on 
its site founded St, Vugustine. The French, leaving a garrison in their Fort 
Caroline, sailed to attack- St. Vugustine, but their ships were driven south by a 
storm. Thereupon Menendez marched to the St. Johns, captured the French 
fort and put the garrison to death. Upon his return to St. Augustine he learned 
that the French fleet had been wrecked on the coast. He proceeded south to 
this inlet, discovered the Frenchmen on the other side, and by false promises in- 
duced them to surrender and deliver up their arms. Then he sent them boats. 
brought theiu over in small bands at a time, bound them, blindfolded them, led 
them behind the sand hills, and there in the name of religion put them to .hath.

It has been the fashion in describing St. Augustine to lay emphasis on its 
Spanish character. With the one exception of the fort, however, no specially 
notable example of Spanish architecture was to be found here. Throughout the 
entire period of its rule from Madrid the town appears to have been always poor, 
as the Boucaniers found it in the middle of the seventeenth century. And yet no

natural conditions were wanting. The sky above St. Augustine arches as deli- 
cately blue and soft as that of Seville. The sunlight is as warm and as golden as 
that which floods the patios of Spanish Alcazars. The Florida heavens are as 
radiantly brilliant bv night, and the full moon floats as luminously above the 
Atlantic coast, as where the pinnacles and minarets of Valencia glitter in its 
beams on the Mediterranean shore. Add to these natural adaptations the historic 
associations of Spain and the Spaniards, and there is little room for wonder tha 
the visitor looked f '>r some architectural monuments other than gloomy fortifica 
tions to commemorate the dignity and pride of the ancient Spanish rule.

Some such reflections as these, perhaps, prompted the designers of the 
projected Pon< e m. 1.i:<>.\ to look to tin- architecture of Spain for the style most 
appropriate for the structure. The) found it in the Spanish Renaissance; and 
this was well chosen, for it was the style of which the development coincided with 
the must glorious period ol Spanish history. 

The historic symbolism of the decoration is to be observed at the very gateway 
of the court in the lion's masque which ornaments each of the gateposts. It is 
the heraldic lion of Leon, that sturdy Spanish town which so long and so bravely 
withstood the .Moors; and an emblem, too, of the doughty warrior. Juan Ponce 
de Leon, proclaimed in his epitaph "a lion in name and a lion in heart." Above 
the arch of the gateway, repeated in the spandrels of the panel arches, is the 
stag's head, which was the sacred totem of Seloy. the Indian village on whose 
site St. Augustine was built. From the gateway of the court the towers are seen 
for the first time in their full proportions. Each side of the square tower is 
pierced near the top with an arched window, opening upon a balcony, reminding 
us of the balconies of Mohammedan mosques; and from them, at morning, noon 
or nightfall, we might almost expect to hear the muezzin's call to prayer. Cross- 
ing the court, past the fountain, we approach the grand entrance. This is a full- 
centered arch. 20 feet wide. Around the face of the arch, in a broad band, carved 
in relief on a row of shields, a letter to a shield, runs the legend. Ponce de Leon 
Garlands depend from the shields, which are supported by mermaids. This is 
another suggestion of the sea as the source whence came the shell composite of 
the hotel walls; and also of the sea as the field of Ponce de Leon's achievements. 
The suggestion is further emphasized in the shell-pattern in the spandrels of the 
arch, and yet again in the marine devices of the coats-of-arms on the two shields. 
The other entrances, on the east and west, should have attention before we leave 
the court. In the wall, on each side of the doorway, is a deep fountain niche. 
The water issues from the mouth of a dolphin. Above the door, in the key of the 
arch, is a shield with a shell device, and medallions with Spanish proverbs occupy 
the spandrels. The dolphins of the fountain niches have special appropriateness; 
they are not only tvpical of the sea, but have a local significance as well, for the 
bay of St. Augustine once bore the name River of Dolphins, given it by 
Laudonniere, the Huguenot captain, who anchored his ships here in 1564. The 
allusion to the sea. in the dolphins and the shells, is a motive repeated again and 
again throughout the hotel ; even the door knobs are modeled after shells. 

While the decorations of the rotunda are true to the Spanish Renaissance style, 
the motives for them have been found in the Spain and the Florida of the 
sixteenth century; the symbolism is of the spirit of that age and the impulses 
which then held sway. Painted on the pendentives of the cove ceiling of the 
second story are female figures typical of Adventure. Discovery, Conquest. 
Civilization. Four other figures represent the elements. Earth. Air. Fire, and 
Water The decorations in the penetrations are lyres, with swans 01; either side. 
The lyres are surmounted alternately by a masque of the Sun god of the Florida

< >n the south side of King street, opposite the Ponce de Leon, is the Alcazar, 
an adjunct of the hotel, and in architecture a fitting complement of it. The 
Alcazar is of Spanish Renaissance style, and of a design which, like that of the 
Ponce de Leon, is original throughout. Within is a court of flowers, shrubbery 
and vines, with a fountair playing in the center. The court — not unworthy to be 
compared with the patios of the Alcazars in Spain — is surrounded by an arcade, 
upon which open shops and offices. Beyond is the Casino, in which are the great 
swimming pools of sulphur water from the artesian wells. 

The group of concrete hotels on the Alameda is completed by the Hotel 
Cordova. In style it does not follow the Spanish Renaissance architecture; the 
suggestions for the heavy walls and battlemented towers were found in the strong 
castles and town defenses of Spain: it recalls those architectural monuments of 
the warring ages of the past; vast piles of masonry, which grew with the incre- 
ments of hundreds of years, amid the conflicts of Roman and Goth and Moor and 
Christian. Thus the archway on the north facade, formerly a gateway, flanked by 
massive towers round and square, was an adaptation of the Puerto del Sol, or 
Gate of the Sun, of Toledo.

Le Sieur Causse, an honest French 
mariner of the eighteenth century, who was 
shipwrecked on the Bahamas, plundered by 
pirates, and in the end forced to turn pirate 
himself, and who left in a manuscript care- 
fully cherished by his descendants, an account 
of his sea life, found his way about the year 
1750 to St. Augustine; and gives a racy and 
curious picture of what he saw there: 

"In Havana we found a French corsair, 
commanded by M. Ferret, who also owned 
the vessel. It mounted six three-pounder 
guns, twelve swivel guns, and had seventy 
men of all sorts and conditions, including 
Spaniards, Turks, Genoese, and English. As 
1 was now quite destitute, and had nothing 
left in the world but my shirt and breeches, 
there seemed nothing better for me than to 
embark on board this ship, especially as M. 
Ferret uttered me the post of lieutenant. lie 
took at the same time several of our people. 
After victualling the ship, we set sail for the 
English strait. When two days out we saw 
a little ship careening under the island of 
Samana. To ascertain what she was M. 
Ferret lowered the long boat, and I was 
ordered to take nine men, and if she turned 
out to be English, to seize her. When al- 
ready near to her, some English sailors who 
had concealed themselves behind the rocks, 
opened a volley of musketry fire upon us, 
which only wounded three of us. Our wish 
was to land and drive them out, but M. 
Ferret by signal recalled us to the ship, and 
our corsair was moved in to half cannon shot 
distance, almost grounding, and we cannon- 
adi d her till we had rendered her useless. 

"When we were off St. Augustine, in 
Florida, we determined to careen and repitch 
our vessel. So in answer to our signal for 
a pilot a launch came off from the shore and 
took us in tow. By hard rowing they brought 
us over the bar, so that we were able to sail 
up the river. Next day we came to anchor 
before the town of St. Augustine, which we 
saluted with thirteen guns. The boat was 
lowered, and M. Ferret paid a visit to the 
governor, who received him with every at- 
tention, offering to supply us with all we 



needed. Next day the governor came on 
board, and we set before him a collation of 
a varied sort, on which he complimented us. 
Indeed, this little (Irjn'incr was of the gayest. 
\\ e drank to the prosperity of our countries 
with the accompaniment of salvos of cannon, 
and the cheers of the men who went into the 
rigging. When the governor left he invited 
all the officers to the Government House next 
day. 



"The hour being at hand for our appear 
ance there, many of us represented to M. 
Ferret that we could not present ourselves 
before the governor decently, as most of us 
had only one shirt and one pair of breeches, 
"huh made him laugh much. Being deter- 
mined- to take us along with him, he lent us 
all the clothing he had, and although it was 
his very best, yet our appearance was com- 
ical enough. Some of us had lace-up clothes 
without vests, others nothing but vests and 
big breeches. Thus then in grand parade, 
each of us with a sword at his side, we pro- 
ceeded to the Government House, where we 
were received by the governor himself and 
introduced to the company. We sat down 
to a dinner served by the cook, Dubord, and 
had good wine dessert. At 3 o'clock we ad- 
journed to another hall and danced minuets 
with some beautiful Spanish ladies. After- 
ward we went to the church, where the gov- 
ernor had us placed in a large covered pew 
by his side. It had a curtain of crimson 
velvet and was opposite the pulpit. The 
preacher was Recollet Father. At the sec- 
ond part of the discourse we were surpri ei 
*o see him produce a skull upon which he 
placed a wig. After he had spoken in an 
impassioned mann.r words which, though we 
could not understand them, were evidently 
good moralities, he took the peruque off this 
skull and in its stead placed a head-dress and 
a veil. Doubtless this part of his discourse 
was addressed to the women, at which re- 
markable scene some of us could not resist 
laughter. For my own part. 1 bit my lips 
to save myself from exploding. I could have 
wished to have been outside. In concluding

his sermon lie took a crucifix, and as if he 
noticed that what lie had said had not suffi- 
ciently moved his audience, I understood 
will that he cried out several times, 
'You are not willing to weep? You are not 
willing to weep for your God? Very well. 
1 will take Him away." Then he descended 
from the pulpit and left the church in a rage, 
taking the crucifix with him; and immediately 
evei j body rushed out after him. through the 
streets, telling their rosaries. There only 
remained in the church a few women faint- 
ing and without help. Such an impression 
had the monk made upon them! He present- 
ly returned, still followed by the crowd, into 



the church, pronounced the benediction, and 
all was over. 

"We next went with the governor to see 
the races, which are chiefly entertaining on 
account of the large assemblage of peoplf 
of both sexes. The race itself is a very smal 
matter. About sixty horses were made to 
run one after another, while their riders tried 
to seize the head of a cock wdio is fastened by 
the feet to a cord tied across the street above 
their heads. 

"Some weeks after, having completed cur 
careen and provisioned our ship, we took 
farewell of the worthy governor and got out 
of the river."

A STRAIGHTAWAY (i)l i; I 



THE EAST COAST. 



' Ioing south from Si . Augustine, one comes first to Palatka, on the St. John's 
River, twenty-eight miles from St. Augustine via the East Coast Railway, and 
fifty-six miles from Jacksonville. Palatka is an attractive and flourishing city, 
and the walks and drives in all directions arc romantic and beautiful. Row- 
boats and small steamers can be leased for excursions to points on the St. 
John's River. The city is the point of departure for the < )cklawaha steamboats. 

Palatka i- one of the oldest towns in the State. Its natural advantages were 
recognized as far hack as the days of the Seminole Indians, when it was the 
important trading post in East Florida. During the Seminole War it was 
an army post and basis of supplies. The old lias been supplanted by the new. 
and the changes brought about in this beautiful little city on the St. Johns 
during the past few years are hardh to be imagined. It is the terminus of one 
of our greatest trunk lines of railway- the Georgia Southern & Florida (South- 
ern Railway i. is on the main line of the Atlantic (oast Line and Florida East 
Coast Railways, the head of deep water on the St. Johns; and at its wharves 
vessels carrying the products of its mills and factories are loaded for New York, 
Boston, Philadelphia and other points.

The Ocklawaha River Tour affords a revelation of some of the wildest and 
most novel scenery in the State, and an experience never to be forgotten. The 
river is navigated by the tourist steamers of the Ocklawaha River lines, from 
Palatka and Silver Springs, railroad connection being" made at each of these 
points. (See time cards in our advertising pages.) The steamboats are lighted 
on their way through the night, and the excursion is one which remains in 
memory as the weirdest experience of a lifetime. The stream is narrow and 
extremely tortuous, and is overarched by giant oaks, magnolias, palmettos, 
cypresses, bays and other trees, all festooned with "Spanish moss" in profusion. 
The effect by daylight is novel and fascinating, ami by night it is fantastic, 
mysterious and bewildering beyond description. Silver Spring is a circular 
basin, 600 feet in diameter, of water of wonderful clearness, which bursts up in 
a great flood from a depth of 65 feet, in such volume as to form the navigable 
river by which the steamboat has entered the spring. So clear is the spring, 
that from a boat the smallest objects can be seen at the bottom, and a nail may 
be watched all the way as it goes down, turning and darting in erratic course. 

Ormond, sixty-eight miles from St. Augustine by the East Coast Railway, is 
situated on the Halifax River, here parallel with the Atlantic, the two being

THE INDIAN RIVER OUTLOOK AT ROCKLEDG1 



New Smyrna, thirteen miles south of Daytona, on Hillsborough River, is the 
oldest settlement on the East Coast south of St. Augustine ; and is historically 
famous for the Greek and Minorcan colony, 1,500 strong, established by Dr. 
Turnbull in 1767. All along the river bank for four miles north and three miles 
south are scattered the ruins of old Minorcan houses, with coquina stone floors, 
chimneys and wells, curbed with hewn stone. The drainage canals, indigo vats 
and ruins of old sugar mills indicate large industries. Other ruins known as the 
"Spanish Mission," or "Columbus Chapel," and "Rock House" are by some 
people thought to antedate the time of Turnbull. New Smyrna beach stretches 
Fouth for miles, with a firm, smooth surface, and is lined along the bluffs with 
Hie cottages of Coronado and other summer and winter residence colonies. New 
Smyrna is an outfitting point for fishing and camping parties 

From New Smyrna a branch line of the Florida East Coast Railway Svstem 
runs to Blue Springs, on the St. John's River, thirty-two miles west. This is the 
>-onte to Df. Land and to Fake Helen. 

Rockledge is named from the bold coquina ledges, which lend a picturesque 
beauty to the shore line. The foot walk for several miles on tin- high river bank, 
leading through one splendid orange grove to another, is very fascinating. 1 here 
is a grand outlook across the river to Merritt's Island, which is also populous with 
villas, groves and gardens. The sailboats and rowboats and launches, the 
pedestrian parties one continually meets on the river path, the well-contented

the pineapple district. The section is one of interest, too,- because -of the- relics 
of a bygone age and a vanished people; there are Indian mounds, and the earth- 
works of old Fort fierce, suggestive memorials of the days when the Seminoles 
were making a hopeless stand against fate. Back of Fort Fierce is the home of 
one branch of the Seminole Indians, and they may here often be seen trading 
their alligator skins, plumes and game for ammunition and supplies. 

Lake Worth and Palm Beach. — Southward 300 miles from Jacksonville is 
Palm Beach, on Lake Worth. Here we enter the cocoanut region and the trop- 
ical paradise of Florida. Lake Worth is, like the other waters of the Indian River 
System, a salt-water lagoon, twenty-two miles long by an average of a mile in 
width, and separated from the Atlantic < >cean by a peninsula about a mile wide. 
Here is situated the Royal Poinciana, one of the largest hotels in the world, 
and royal indeed in respect both of its entirely unique surroundings and its 
magnificent appointments. Fronting the beautiful lake and commanding also 
the ocean view, it has the peculiar advantage of a lordly grove of cocoanut palms 
and the finest environments of tropical gardening. The magnificent hotel does 
not stand alone in respect of such environments: for several miles along the lake 
tront range other beautiful and highly improved estates with similar adornments 
of cocoanut palms and a great variety of other tropical flora. 

The climate is very greatly influenced and tempered both in winter and sum- 
mer by the Gulf Stream, which passes 'lose to the shore at this point. The nor- 
mal winter temperature is about 70 to y^ degrees

WHITEHALL— RESIDENCE OF MRS. HENRY M. FLAGLER, PALM BEAl II 

Whitehall, one of the stately homes of America, is appropriately in the Spanish style of architecture, 
the house, built around an interior court or patio, and having for external features the columned portico, 
pure white walls and red tiled roof glowing against the sky. The entrance hall, 110 feet long, with grand 
marble stairway and domed ceiling, opens into apartments treated in various styles of decoration and 
furnishing — the Library in that of the Italian Renaissance, the Salon in that of the period of Louis XVI., 
the ballroom, in white and gold, in the style of Louis XV., the dining room in that of Francois I. 

Tropical plants and trees from all parts of flu- world are gathered here. 
Walks shaded by groves of cocoanut palms are laid out in geometrical patterns, 
bordered with concrete curbs, and with lawns protected by curved sea-walls of 
concrete and coquina on the lake front. Oleanders, hibiscus and passion flowers 
are in bloom. Mangoes, guavas, limes, lemons, oranges, figs, sapodillas, date 
palms, bananas, pineapples and early vegetables are common in all the gardens;- 
some have strawberries ripe in January, and tomatoes in abundance in March. 
Rubber trees, royal poinciana, paradise, coffee, traveler's and numbers of curious 
trees ornament the gardens, and the gnarled, straggling arms of great live oaks, 
covered with knobs and bunches of two varietes of orchids and hanging moss, by

bordered with cocoanut palms, oleanders and azaleas, lead from the lake to (he

distinguishing beauty and name. Years ago the Spanish brig Providencia, 

cocoanut-laden, was cast away off this coast, and the cocoanuts were washed 
ashore to find growth in a congenial soil. There was quite as much romance in 
the coming of the date palm to Florida ; from Syria the conquering Moors carried 
it to Spain; and from Spain the Spaniards brought it here. The sago, fan. royal 
and other palms have been introduced. The palms indigenous to Florida include 
the low saw or scrub palmetto, which covers vast areas of the State: and the 
cabbage palmetto, so called because of the cabbage-like growth, which is edible. 
There are other palms on the Keys. 

On the western shore of the lake are large pineapple plantations, each year 
increasing in numbers and in production. Thirty miles to the west is Lake 
Okeechobee, with settlements of the Seminole Indians, of whom some notes are 
given on another page. Lake Worth and its vicinity, like all the southern Fast 
Coast country, has developed rapidly since the advent of the railway, which has 
converted it from a region secluded because difficult of access, and has put it in 
quick touch with the res + of the world 

Tin, Hotel Royal Poinciana takes its name from the beautiful royal poin 
ciana tree (Poinciana regia), which abounds here, and which is famed for the 
blazing brilliance of its summer bloom. The hotel grounds are enriched with

mous catches are recorded. The kingfish is very game, and the fishing, with its 
surroundings, is a favorite amusement. There are numerous boats, with ex- 
perienced men to handle them, and having thorough knowledge of the grounds. 

South of Palm Beach the railroad runs through fruit and vegetable district-, 
where the pineapple and tomato fields appear interminable. At Fort Lauderdale 
we are on the edge of the Everglades. 

Thirty-nine miles south of Palm Peach, on Biscayne Pay. is Miami, the magic 
city, a- its citizens call it. not without reason. It- growth has been like that o! 
a western mushroom town, but the development is of the most substantial and 
permanent character. Miami is thoroughly modern and up to date, with fine 
streets, well-stocked business establishments, handsome residences, costly public 
buildings, banks, churches, schools, mills and factories, a constantly enlarging 
variety of industries and important and growing trade interests. 

The Miami River, which is the principal eastern drainage stream of the Ever 
glades, at a point four miles from Fort Dallas, narrowing in its bed and rushing 
in tumbling, swirling, foaming rapids over coral rock, presents a genuine novelty 
in this land of smooth-flowing waters. Arch Creek, another outlet of the Ever- 
glades, takes its name from an arch of coral. Boating, sailing and fishing are 
favorite amusements at Miami, and there is maintined a large fleet of launches 
and dories for the winter season. Sailing and fishing excursions are made to

A BIT OF PINEAPPLE FIELD 



Bay Biscayne is a lagoon sheltered from the Atlantic by numerous keys and 
coral islands ; it is forty miles in length and from five to ten miles wide, with a 
prevailing depth of from six to ten feet ; the shores are lined with palms and 
mangroves, and a profusion and variety of tropical growth ; the blue water is of 
remarkable clearness. These elements unite to make the bay one of the most 
beautiful cruising grounds in the world ; and many yachts have their winter 
rendezvous here. On the west shore, at Cocoanut Grove, embowered amid 
cocoanuts and royal palms, is the club house of the Bay Biscayne Yacht Club, 
whose pennant bears the legend, "25 Degrees North Lat. B. B. Y. C." The 
water of the bay is of such crystal clearness that it reveals, even to great depths, 
the wealth of vegetable and animal life everywhere present. This submarine 
life is a never-failing attraction ; there are portions of Bay Biscayne, notably the 
Turtle Harbor, which rival the far-famed sea gardens of Nassau. 

Pineapple growing was a Florida industry in the forties; but only within 
recent years has it assumed commercial importance. The pineapple is a species 
of air-plant, and belongs to the same family as the tillandsia or "Spanish moss." 
The mature plant is 2 ! / 2 feet in height, with a spread of 2 feet across; the fruit 
is borne on a stalk in the center. Each plant produces one pine in a season. 
Pineapples are grown from suckers, slips or the crowns of the pines ; they are sef 
out in midsummer.

THE STANDARD GUIDE. 



The Seminole Indians are seen at various points on the East Coast from Fort 
Pierce south to Biscayne Day. They are the survivors in Florida of a tribe which 
once engaged the anxious attention of the entire country. In 1835 disputes over 
the boundaries of the Indian reservation and quarrels over fugitive slaves, which 
the Seminoles were accused of harboring, led to the Seminole War — the most 
ci istly and disastrous of the minor wars of the United States. At the end'of seven 
years, in 1842, the Indians were subdued, captured and transported to the reser- 
vation assigned them, where the remnant yet remain in the Indian Territory. A 
portion of the tribe evaded deportation and betook themselves to this Southern 
country. They hid in the wilderness Everglades and still remain in tacit rebellion, 
and regard the white man with suspicious enmity. While one nation, they are 
divided into three tribes — the Big Cypress, Cow Creek and Miamis. The Big 
Cypress Indians live in the vicinity of Fort Myers, between Caloosahatchee 
River and the Gulf of Mexico ; the Miamis live back of Miami, on Biscayne Bay; 
and the Cow Creeks are situated back of Fort Pierce and the St. Lucie River, 
which empties into the Indian River. They have no reservation, no land has ever 
been assigned them by the Government. Their dwellings are palmetto huts and 
framed houses; they have horses, dogs, pigs and cattle; and raise corn, sweet 
potatoes and other vegetables. Flour or starch made from the coontie or wild 
cassava has always been a staple article of food. The Florida Indians have cul- 
tivated the soil from primitive days ; note the corn and other vegetables in the

The dress of the men con- 
sists of a turban of folded 
shawls or handkerchiefs and 
decorated with a plume, a 
calico shirt, usually of many 
colors, with a kerchief or 
cravat about the neck- ; and, 
on occasion, leggins and 
moccasins of tanned deer- 
skin. The scalp-lock is care- 
fully protected. The Florida 
Indian's fashion in head 
gear has not changed in 
general character in centuries. Compare the turban of the Seminole of to-day 
with Osceola's in 1838 (page 25), and again with that of the chief Satourioua 
in 1563. The women wear their hair cut short in front and coiled behind. Their 
dress is a long skirt with short waist or jacket. The jacket is decorated with 
silver or gold coins pounded thin and cut into various shapes. About the neck 
of the new-born girl is placed a necklace of beads ; others are added as she 
grows older, until the mature woman is fairly burdened beneath the weight of 
her necklaces ; and then with the coming of old age they are gradually discarded. 
The women are skillful with the needle; some have sewing machines. 

The Indian canoe is a dugout of cypress ; it is propelled by sail or push-pole. 
In these craft the hunters go to sea to harpoon manatee. The Seminole depends 
largely upon the chase ; he is equipped with the latest models of Winchester arms 
and is an expert shot. These Indians shoot from hip or elbow without sighting

Once a year, in the last of June or the first of July, the people gather from 
far and near for the Green Corn Dance, an anniversary which has been observed 
from time immemorial. It is a time of coming to judgment, and the infliction 
of punishments, of feasting and making merry. At this time also the marriages 
take place. The custom followed is one of those survivals common among 
I savage races of the old days when wives were taken by capture; the girl runs 
over a certain marked out course, and the man pursues; if he overtakes her — 
and whether he does or not depends altogether upon whether she wishes him

which consumed more than a quarter of a cen- 
tury in the building and cost nearly $->,ooo,ooo, 
all of these natural waterways, from the St. 
Johns River to Bay Biscayne, have been con- 
nected by navigable channels, and opened to 
merce. In particular are these sheltered 
course- favorable for pleasure travel; and they 
contribute in a very substantial and generous 
way to the enjoyment of the winter sojourner 
here. The construction of the canal has added 
immeasurably to the resources of Florida as 
the accepted winter playground of the United 
States. The Indian River, as the region is com- 
prehensively termed, has the attraction of diver- 
sified scenery novel to Northern eyes, affords ex- 
cellent fishing and shooting, and offers inex- 
haustible opportunities for boating, cruising, 
camping and idling. The waters are opened to 
the tourist, from Jacksonville to Miami by 
steamboat, specially constructed for the service, 
and running on a schedule so arranged as to 
afford the fullest enjoyment of the unique ex- 
cursion. 

From Matanzas Bay, as the boat heads south. 
one has a pleasing view of St. Augustine with 
its graceful towers and pinnacles; and the vivid 
greens of the opposite shore combine with the 
glistening snow-white sand dunes of the North 
Beach to make a picture typical of the marine 
view for hundreds of miles to the south. Fol- 
lowing the reaches of the Matanzas. separated 
from the Atlantic by Anastasia Island, we come 
to Matanzas Inlet, where stands sentinel the 
ruin of the old Spanish fort, keeping watch and 
ward over this southern sea approach to St. 
Augustine. Beyond the inlet is the little ham- 
let of Summer Haven, a bathing and fishing 
resort. From here the course is through a dis- 
trict of old time plantation sites, with alternat- 
ing dense forest growth and wide expanding 



marsh, into the Halifax River. We soon corn- 
to Ormond, Daytona and Seabreeze— a sectio! 
of fine homes and tourist hotels. 

Beyond Daytona the course is through a mul 
titude of little islands, past Ponce Park, clo3 
by the Mosquito Inlet Light, to New Smyrna 
where the ruins of substantial coquina building 
the enterprise of the Turnbull Minorca! 
regime. From New Smyrna the boat follows j 
tortuous course through the islands of the Hills 
boro, past Turtle Mound, one of those mysteri 
ous monuments of prehistoric times, into th 
wide expanse of Mosquito Lagoon, the resort o 
vast multitudes of wildfowl. 

From the lagoon the boat enters the Haulove 
canal, a section retaining the former name J 
this stretch of land, across which, before th 
canal was dug, small boats were hauled by teas 
from the Mosquito into the headwaters of th 
Indian River. At Titusville, a thriving towr 
center of important fishing industries, the In 
dian River expands into a wide sound. Indian, 
ola and Merritt's are passed on the left, and thJ 
is seen the long extent of abrupt coquina ledgf 
which gives name to Rockledge. Here are mile 
and miles of orange groves. Opposite Rockledg

laved boulevard, seventeen miles of one of the 
/ery best automobile roadways in America; 
ind also by the Florida East Coast Railway, 
ivhich will operate electric trains in addition 
:o the regular train service. 

The property known as the Atlantic Beach 
Estates commences at the mouth of the St. 
fohns River, and extends southerly on the At- 
lantic I )cean some live miles. The beach front 
S considered one of the finest in the world,

iUt -ink-hole or danger spot, six hundred feet 
pr more wide at low tide, and for the entire

The entire holdings of the Atlantic Beach 
Corporation consist of over 4.000 acres of land, 
and extend back from the beach some two 
miles. Nearly every acre of this land is high 
and dry. and level, ami differs from one's con- 
ception of ocean front property, as here al- 
most to the water's edge the land is covered 
with a dense growth of mighty oaks and gi 
lul palms, with magnolias, wild hickories and 
a score of tropical and semi-tropical trees. 
The soil on this property is several inches in 
depth, where flowers, trees, shrubs and grass

and south from the hotel site, it was Ins inten- 
tion to build here a great resort city, but the 
subsequent extension of the road across the 
sea to Kc\ West occupied his energies and 
attention, and the development here was per- 
mitted to lie dormant. 

The property now known as Atlantic Beach, 
consisting of over 4,000 acres of land, the At- 
lantic Beach Hotel, was bought by the At- 
lantic Beach Corporation, of which Mr. J L. 
Turner, of New York j s the president and 
principal owner. 

Nearly a thousand acres, mirth of the road 
to the beach, have been platted, streets have 
been laid out and cut through, building sites 
cleared .old scores of beautiful bungalows and 
houses have been built and occupied. 

A municipal electric lighting plant has been 
built ami wires strung along the streets and 
boulevards and nil" the houses. An artesian 
well is flowing thousands of gallons an hour, 
sufficient for a population of ten thousand. 

The latest additions are an t8-hole goll 
course, occupying about 120 acres and sit- 
uated within live minutes' walk of the hotel 
and a liiliput course of o holes in the grounds 
of the hotel itself. The Atlantic Beach

THE RAILROAD TO KEY WEST 



The Florida Fast Coast Railroad Extension to 
l ey West vva 1 <m Jan. 23, 1912. The 

tcasion marked the completion of one of the 
lost notable railroad enterprises in the world, 
hd'one of the most remarkable of engineering 
enlevements. 

The distance from Miami to Key West is 154 
jiles. The work from Homestead south is made 
p in round numbers of sixty miles rock emhank- 
lent through the waters separating the main- 
(nd from Key Largo and through the waters 
?parating the different kej 

(There are four concrete viaducts thirty-one 
bet above the water — one from Long Key to 

onch Key, 10.500 feet; a viaduct across Knight's 
ley channel, 7,300 feet; a viaduct across Moser 
ley channel, 7,800 feet, and a viaduct across 
'ahia Honda Key channel. 4,950 feet, making a 
Dtal of concrete viaduct 30,550 feet, equivalenl 
j) 5.78 miles. 
1 These viaducts are constructed of reinforced 



concrete, 50-foot spans resting on piers set into 
solid rock and strengthened with piles. The base 
of the pier at rock surface is 28 feet, and at the 
springing line of arch 20 feet 7 inches. From 
the water to the crown of the arch is 25 feet. 
To that is added the thickness of the arch at 
the crown, ballast, ties, etc., making the track 31 
feet above the level of the water. 

Of the water openings there are seven, 25 feet 
each. These are in the solid embankment, and 
are only intended for rowboats and small craft. 

Of drawbridges there are three, with openings 
aggregating 410 feet. The remaining distance, 
about 65 miles, is made up of the islands or keys 
over which the road passes. 

Terminal facilities at Key West comprise 2 
dry dock and ten covered piers, each 800 feet 
in lengih and km) feel 111 width, with basin 200 
feet between piers. The ten piers furnish berths 
for forty ship* 400 feet in length with a depth 
of water ranging from 20 to 30 feel 



PICTURESQUE NASSAU. 

The passage across the Gulf Stream to the "Isle of June" is in effect but a 
slight extension of the Florida tour. From .Miami to Nassau the distance is only 
145 miles — a short excursion, which ma\ hardly be said to involve going to sea. 

For the tourist Nassau has many attractions; its climate is peculiarly grateful 
to the fugitive from the rigors and sudden changes of the Northern winter and 
spring. Basking in floods of perpetual sunshine and swept by soft ocean breezes, 
the Bahamas enjoy a temperature which is remarkably equable; from October 
to June the mercury ranges from 65 to 80 degrees; official records show for 
January 70 degrees, February 71 degrees, March 72 degrees, and April 75 
degrees. This is a summer laud, though the calendar marks the winter season; 
and the whole aspect of the island is of summer and summer life. The houses 
are built with generous piazzas and lattice verandas, and are embowered amid 
roses, jasmines and oleanders. ( (range, lemon and lime are everywhere.

Bender palms uplift their plumes against the sky. Here we arc in the tropics, 
but the tropics tempered by the gratefully invigorating influences of the sea. 

The feature of Nassau which is most pleasing is the wonderfully brilliant 
coloring of the sea, in shades of green and pink, purple and blue, in all the rich 
Bines and combinations and changing effects of the sk} and clouds al sunset. 
The coloring is due in part to the character of the bottom; a sand bottom gives 
the light color, and stretches of vegetable growth cause the dirk shading. The 
sheltered harbor, the shining beaches of outlying keys, with the vivid green of 
their verdure, and the deepening tones of the sea. blending in the distance with 
tlu' sky, so that one ma} determine where the sea ends and the sky begins 
all this, as the Mm lowers in the we-i. affords an entrancing scene, to look upon 
which is the rarest pleasure in .Nassau and the best remembered picture of a 
holiday in the Bahamas. 

The Queen's Staircase is a series of steps cut in tlu- side of an old stone 
quarry and leading up from the street below to the height on which stands Fort 
Fincastie. The fort, built in 1789, is now a ruin. Its resemblance to a vessel 
has given it the name of Ship Fort, and the likeness is enhanced by the flags on 
file Mali which signal the sighting of ships at sea. Fort Charlotte, a massive 
fortification hewn out of the solid rock, on the hill west of the town, also serves 
as a signal station to report to the town the movements of shipping. The fort. 
completed in 1788. was named after Queen Charlotte. An obelisk on the hilt 
.near the fort is a mark for pilots entering the harbor. On the esplanade at 
(the foot of the hill a modest monument commemorates the heroism of five men 
who m [86) lost their lives "whilst gallantly volunteering their services in the 
effort to save two men belonging to the pilot boat which had been upset b) a 
heavy sea." A third fortification is F'ort Montague, on the shore at the eastern 
entrance to the harbor; like the others, it is in ruin; and the old cannon have no 

i story to tell of valiant defense against a Spanish foe. 
Among the novel forms of vegetation which interest the visitor the most 
remarkable is the ancient ceiba or silk cotton tree near the public buildings, 
whose immense buttresses an- shown in our illustration. Close by is a grove of 
{the royal poinciana. Another tree to attract notice is the whistling bean, named 
"from the sound produced by the wind blowing upon its seed pods: it is also 
|called "old woman's tongue" because it is never quiet. The small boys im- 
portune the stranger to buy the "sand box bean." a seed pod which takes its 
name from the old ink sanding box, which it resembles. 



Cuba.

published by Messrs. Foster & Reynolds, are very complete in scope, beautiful in illustration and prac- 
tical in their usefulness to travelers. See advertisement on another page. 

Cuba is truly tropical. The lush vegetation is that of the torrid zone. The 
encircling seas give the island a climate which, in winter and spring, is delicious. 
As surely as the sunrise, conies the sea breeze to temper the heat. The atmos- 
phere is marvelously clear and transparent. The beauty of the scenery is a 
revelation— the tinted seas, the mountain ranges, lovely valleys and highly culti 
vated plains in a succession of panoramas which surprise and delight. The 
attractions are endless. The island is healthful; there is no yellow fever, nor 
any more danger of it than in the Southern States. Travel is safe and con- 
venient. The railroads have modern equipment and are well managed. The 
steamships are clean and commodious and set good tables, and the trip on either 
coast from one land-locked harbor to another is an enjoyable experience. After 
Havana and Matanzas, the most interesting place to visit is Camaeiiev.

I \ I l-i OF HOTEL I UIAGUEY. 



Havana is considered one of the most picturesque cities of the Western 
Hemisphere, and is extremely quaint in many of its aspects, and therefore inter- 
esting. Its architecture and streets are of a distant past, while its bustle and 
commercial activity remind one of the modern metropolis. There are enough 
sights in and around the city to keep the tourist busy as long as he elects to 
remain. 

One of the most interesting of trips is that to Matanzas, located on the 
United Railways of Havana, some fifty-five miles from Havana. At a half 
hour's drive from the city, Cuba's most famous natural attractions may be seen 
— the Yumuri Valley and Bellamar Caves. 

The Cuba Railroad, which runs from Santa Clara to Santiago, a distance of 
374 miles, is of the American standard and equipment, and affords for the tourist 
not only many scenic attractions, but the best means of learning the great 
agricultural and commercial resources of the island, which are awaiting develop- 
ment.

The Isle of Pines lies in the Caribbean Sea. thirty-five miles southeast 
df the nearest point of land in Cuba. Politically it is a part of the Province 
of Havana. Its area is 615 square miles. The topography is diversified; 
much of the island is a plateau 50 to 100 feet above sea level, and having a 
number of mountain peaks. The range of Cerro de los Cristales, or Crystal 
Hills, on the north, reaches an altitude of 2.000 feet. 

The island is reached from Havana by the United Railway, from Villanueva 
Station, to Batabano, there connecting with steamer for Nueva Gerona (60 
miles) and other ports. 

There are in the island nearly 5,000 registered American property owners 
and more than 2,000 actual American residents in a population ol less than 
5,000. In spirit, enterprise and character the island is American. The leading 
industries are fruit-growing and truck farming, and the winter homes are 
multiplying.

"Buying Trees Is Jes a Matter of Straight Common Sense" 
Says Uncle William, the Old Reliable Florida Cracker 

Uncle William is wise with the wisdom of several generations. lie has been making 
citrus groves and selling them as well as growing fruit fur market for these many years. 
For a long time he has planted only Buckeye trees lei him tell why in his own words: 



"I lived up in Marion County when Myron Gillett started 
HiK'k'-yi'. most forty years ago I watehed the way he went 
at it ami saw that he was on the right track. 1 looked up 

Gillett in his native I e and found he had a Grst-class name 

for honesty and square dealing 

"Thru when (iillrtt inove.i down the stair into the present 
heart of the citrus belt, I kept my weather eye on his move- 
ments It happi-netl I planted some grows in Polk County 

about ih«' same time 1 have kept tab on Buckeye methods 
ever since and allow I was right when I figured out up there 
in old Marion County that Gillett was the Fellow in the 
nursery business i<> tie up with 

"I've found il a big drawn' card to tell buyers thai my 
groves are.planted with Buckeye trees. Thej seem to sense 
right away thai they can depend on the fruit coming true to

young ones, show f"i theirselves. Every grove I si>M I. rough t 
me enough money to Loot, on account of the Buckeye trees, 
to i'.i> for tin in several times ovei 



"Of course, there's been ■> few disputes between me and the 
» .ill ■!!- None of them come to anything, though when we 
got together to talk tin- thing over, they were always plumb 
fair and square, and I g>>i all thai was coming to me. Once 
1 threatened to have the law on M E Gillett because he 
couldn't deliver as many trees as I needed I didn't do it 
bemuse 1 found I had forgol to mail the order when 1 thought 
I had But ii was a big comfort to know thai if I had sued 
and won. ray verdict would have been worth something. 
"Beh-\e me, stiii. the knack and the knowledgi of growing

THE PLANTERS' GUIDE 

Not only is the entire sto, ].; conveniently classified into seventeen distinct groups or depart-

suggestions on the care and hai dling of plants both in planting and house culture that are well 
wo I ' ttentive study, '1 he nomenclature has been brought down to date to conform to the 

I i standards of the Department of Agriculture. 

QUALITY STOCK 

Every effort has been put forth by the ROYAL PALM NURSERIES to produce only "quality 
stock" regardless of cost and for prices we invite comparison \\ ith any firm in the business. Over 
thil years oi unceasing work and study in the field have placed us in position to understand any 
planting conditions and for that reason we instituted 

OUR NEW SERVICE DEPARTMENT 

By this means we propose to put in the reach 
of all of our customers first hand information on 
all and any phase of horticultural planting work. 
Such a source of information to the planter is 
invaluable, especially to the new comer, to whom 
our Slate's horticulture is entirely new and largely 
experimental.

In our campaign for a "Better Cup of

intelligent housewife to the end that 
the splendid material furnished by us 
under the name of "White House" be 
not spoiled in the brewing. 

The WHITE HOUSE COFFEE is sold 
in the bean, ground or pulverized, and never 
in any package but the one, two, or three- 
pound ALL- TIN cans. White House TEA, 
quarter and half-pound ALL-TIN cans, all
